SENSITIZATION TO CIRCULATING EPINEPHRINE COMPOUNDS CAN RESULT IN
POTENTIALLY FATAL HEART ARRHYTHMIAS.

First Aid:INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR, CALL A PHYSICIAN. IF NOT
BREATHING, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION.IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT,
GIVE OXYGEN. DO NOT GIVE EPINEPHRINE OR SIMILAR DRUGS. EYE: FLUSH
